It really all depends on the particulars of the application, but in many cases they are totally correct that putting the logic in the application can be much more scalable. Often these are not all or nothing type arguments. It may be that you need a mix of traditional SQL for some stuff with business rules and all that jazz, another SQL setup for hosting certain types of dynamic data and then a NoSQL setup for the unstructured data. There is no one solution for all troubles, that's just the way it is.

AC is 100% correct provided we're dealing with a local Access database and not Access fronting a SQL Server - in the latter case, all of the queries and what not take place on the SQL Server and not on the client. The latter case is not uncommon with Internal Applications that started off as an Access application and were later converted to run on SQL Server.

+ - Open Source WAF ModSecurity Adds IIS, Ngix Support->

Submitted by wiredmikey
wiredmikey writes "ModSecurity, the highly popular open source Web Application Firewall, largely found on Apache deployments, has finally come to IIS thanks to a collaboration between Microsoft and Trustwave. In addition, Trustwave also announced that Nginx would also be supported by the ModSecurity project.

ModSecurity is a standard webserver defense, leveraging pre-defined rules that prevent scores of Web-based attacks, which can be both automated and manual. Over the years, ModSecurity has been maintained by a large community of developers, rule writers, and engineers from Trustwave. Yet, for the longest time it was only available for Apache.

Granted, Apache is widely used online, and is the world’s largest webserver platform. But plenty of IIS and Nginx deployments exist online, and many have been targeted by attacks that would have been stopped by even the most basic of ModSecurity rules. Now, server admins have the option to layer their defenses and enjoy the benefits of a Web Application Firewall for free."

+ - Tablets: More popular with the middle aged than millenials->

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "Tablets may be sold as a gadget for young go-getters but a UK study has found that the age group most likely to own a tablet is 45 — 54-year-olds, closely followed by the 34 — 45 age group. The research by Ofcom found that among under 50-year-olds people aged 24 — 35 were the least likely age group to own a tablet. Tablets continued to eat into PC usage, with a third of owners saying they used their laptops and desktops less after picking up a tablet."

The document, 30-pages long, talks about file sharing sites, torrents, cyberlockers, phishing attacks, expectations from internet service providers, mp3 sites and a lot more. The document is a global view representation of IFPI’s “problems”, “current and future threats” and the industry’s responses to them."

+ - NoSQL Ecosystem->

Submitted by abartels
abartels writes "Unprecedented data volumes are driving businesses to look at alternatives to the traditional relational database technology that has served us well for over thirty years. Collectively, these alternatives have become known as NoSQL databases. The fundamental problem is that relational databases cannot handle many modern workloads. There are three specific problem areas: scaling out to data sets like Diggs (3 TB for green badges) or Facebooks (50 TB for inbox search) or eBays (2 PB overall), per-server performance, and rigid schema design."
